Honor Guard Grant question

Hi All. I'm hoping that someone would know if there are any grants available for a small town looking to start an Honor Guard. As everyone knows any dollar is precious these days, so anything we could get would be a huge help. Thanks and stay safe!

Thats the kind of "thinking outside the box" that Kurt teaches. Identify a problem then go out & find a solution!
I remember him telling the story of finding a piece of heavy equipment cheap , so the town manager would authorize spending the funding for his troops.

I think that this is the greatest benefit of taking your class. Besides getting grants through AFG and it's associated programs, It taught me how to find other sources of funding for many different projects. Some small $$ some large$$.
I've been able to fund things like AED's, A RAD 57 CO monitor , thermal imagers, cold water rescue suits & gear, a toughbook computer & software. all from sources that were asking to give money away.
You just have to know where to look for these funding sources.

If anyone thinks the cost of a class is high, then you are not thinking outside the box!

How did you sell an honor guard as a safer project?? developing espirit de corp?? R+R?
Just trying to learn from others successes.

Length of service awards and other retirement benefits

New and current members will receive a Class A Full Dress Uniform, to include short sleeve and long sleeve dress shirt, dress slacks or skirt, jacket, name tag, patches and/or badge and tie after completing required training and one year of service. This will serve as a sign of acceptance to welcome the new member and provide a motivation as part of the team. This will motivate them to better themselves with additional training and to be a more permanent part of the department. These will be awarded to each member during an open awards ceremony.

You may also want to look into some of the younger organizations. My son actually was just appointed to our local Civil Air Patrol Honor Guard. He and I spent the day saturday sanding and repainting the gun he will be carrying. Hard to believe he is going to be turning 15 and has already been up flying on two different occasions. Sorry for going off of the subject, I am just really proud of what he is accomplishing.
